“Not when the costs of #rent, #food & #electricity keep rising. Not when #Republicans raise our #medical costs to fund tax cuts for #billionaires. And definitely not when federal agents — armed & masked — terrorize our communities by targeting people because of the color of their skin or for speaking #Spanish — including immigrants with legal status & citizens,” Sen #AlexPadilla said.

Finally, some data on #ai and #electricity and #water. I drilled down on some of it, and the sources are pretty good.

Anyone using AI needs to read it. And that means... everyone. Because it's shoved into everything these days.

This is not about hugging trees. This is about water in your tap.

Most people who use AI are abstracted away from the costs, one way or another— part of it is proximal bias.

It's a complicated infrastructure around AI. But we need to look at it from a systems level.

There isn't a lot of data. I imagine this is by design. But someone, somewhere, there are estimates and projections... or they wouldn't be building more data centers.
